|| Question ||

John purchased 24 chocolates for Rs.96. How many chocolates can be purchased for Rs.72?

|| Answer ||

John purchased 24 chocolates = Rs.96.

Chocolates can be purchased for Rs.72 = x

$\frac{24}{96} = \frac{x}{72}$

24:96 = x:72

Means = Extreams

96 × x = 24 × 72

$x = \frac{24 \times 72}{96}$

( 12 × 2 = 24, 12 × 8 = 96 )

$x = \frac{2 \times 72}{8}$

(8 × 1 = 8, 8 × 9 = 72)

$x = \frac{2 \times 9}{1}$

$x = 2 \times 9$

$x = 18$

Therefore, 18 chocolates can be purchased for Rs.72
